There is an FB group dedicated to CIPP prep with a lot of helpful tips. I found out about the group after I took CIPP/US, but I am fully utilizing the tips from the group while studying for CIPP/E.

Thank you. I will look for it.

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials.
